We seek a postdoc interested in joining a fun, productive and
collaborative team investigating interactions among nutrient cycling,
forest biodiversity, and landscape evolution in tropical rain forests
across the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica. The successful candidate will
be encouraged to participate in both field-based and synthesis
projects, including analysis of an existing dataset collected to
examine N cycling patterns and processes at the watershed scale. This
dataset includes N concentrations and isotopes in rainfall, soil, and
stream water collected bi-weekly for one year. In addition, the
research project combines remote sensing, field sampling, field and
lab experiments to investigate controls on nutrient cycling in highly
productive lowland tropical forest, and we also welcome applicants
interested in addressing independent research projects that are
relevant to the overall goals of the project. The ongoing
collaboration includes PIs at CU Boulder, the University of Montana
and Brown University, and the successful candidate may choose to be
housed at of any one of these three locations. Candidates with
experience in biogeochemistry, stable isotopes, and terrestrial
nutrient cycling are particularly encouraged to apply. The position
includes a competitive salary and benefits package.
To apply: Please email the following application materials (as one
document) to
<mailto:[email protected]>[email protected]
with "OSA Postdoc" in the subject line:
1) A current CV
2) A letter of interest, including research interests, professional
goals and prior experience
3) Contact information (including Email addresses) of three potential
references.
The position will remain open until a successful candidate has been identified.
